[Darla Williams]

Leaving the Enchanted Forest helped me to understand how our enviornment (family, friends, tv, and books) set up our expectations of how a relationship should or shouldn't be. These expectations whether bad or good are contributing factors in how we relate to others and how we expect other to relate to us. However, the issue is everyone is different, with varying views of the world. Therefore, having predetermined expectations of how a realtionship should be causes unwarranted stress to all parties involved. These expectations represent the luggage we carry around in life that are constantly weighing us down. Leaving the Enchanted Forest, is empowering and has helped me understand the root cause of the feelings I had after 13 years of being in a relationship that didn't meet my expectations. Now, I understand how I contributed to the issues we had, which has helped me become friends with my x.
